FH420 Heritage Footstool, 1930

FH420 Heritage footstool by Frits Henningsen for Carl Hansen + Son.

After travelling for a number of years, Frits Henningsen returned to Denmark filled with expressions from his experiences around Europe. Drawing on classic British style, Frits Henningsen sought to develop a contemporary armchair with a high level of detail and quality ‐ the result was the Heritage Chair.

The Heritage stool is a matching item for the Heritage chair; a supremely comfortable and organic easy chair that adds charm to any room. The warm and elegant lines bear testimony to Frits Henningsen´s constant pursuit of perfection. With a love for natural materials, he created a chair that is inviting and evokes tranquillity, fulfilling the eternal human quest for breathing space in a hectic daily life. Relaunched in 2013 at Salone del Mobile, The Heritage chair and matching stool has been manufactured in very limited quantities by Carl Hansen & Son.
